Who is Ray?

Hi, hi, hello! I'm Ray! 

I’m not an expert on sustainability. I’m not an expert on anything, really. At the end of the day I’m just someone with a lot of curiosity and a deep desire to do better for our planet.

My goal in creating Ray’s Reusables was to share in my journey towards creating less waste, and hopefully help others who wanted to do the same. I wanted to create a space that focused on the process of moving towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle rather than a perfect image of “zero waste”. What started as a single person slinging soap out of a van in 2020 has grown to a small but tight team of caring individuals working together to run our brick and mortar shop in the Northern Liberties,  pop up at the East Falls and Clark Park farmers markets, and make an ever-growing array of our own in house products.

When I'm not running the shop you can find me curled up with a sci-fi book, sipping a latte at a local coffee shop, or making time to pursue some of my favorite hobbies: dancing, drawing, and studying languages.

If you want to get to know me, or the team better, follow us on Instagram, or stop by the shop to chat!
